Near field operation by use of Hardface probes

Hello Mr. Splitt,
Today is your day!
I hope you will get a lot of questions.
Sound propagation is part of our program, so I have a question about this.Hardface probes are designed to operate in direct contact method.
The probes doesn't have inside a delay, actually they are immersion
probes providing a wear resistance protection layer.The physics of sound beam showing that within the near field
many interferences, by means of maxima and minima of the sound preasure.Because of this interferences I am concerned if this technique could be used.
My further questions are.1. Can I do a proper flaw detection
2. Need the indications a special interpretation
3. Can I use it for wall thickness measurements with no problem
4. Could you explain something general about the nearfield operation, also with immersion
technique.Thanks
Rolf
